Very briefly, we have a "big" hashtable, where the keys are
the session handles and the values are the session
environments. Session environments are hashtables from
strings to strings. Environment variables must be stored by
a function call within and <?xcaml ... ?> block but can be
accessed directly from HTML/XML/whatever with a $#varname
directive.

It's done automatically for you when you load the page. A
cache file keeps track of what xcaml pages have already been
compiled, so that files are not needlessly recompiled on and
on again. Of course, if you make a change to a page
on-the-fly, Xcaml notices and flushes it from the cache,
forcing a recompilation.
